A full service is recommended every 12 months or every 12,000 miles (whichever is sooner). Includes everything in an interim service, plus additional checks and oil and filter replacements.

An interim service is recommended every 6 months or 6,000 miles - whichever comes first. An interim service usually consists of around 30-50 checks on your vehicle's condition.

Regular oil changes are an important part of maintaining your car engine between services. Garages will typically change the oil and reset the oil warning light on the dashboard.

An MOT is a test of your vehicle's safety, which every car is legally required to have every 12 months, once it reaches three years old.

Aircon servicing includes a general check-up for the components to detect faults or failures. Aircon parts and filters are cleaned during routine service.

Air-con regassing is the process of removing the old refrigerant gas from your air conditioning system and replacing it with new refrigerant, so your air con can run cold again.
